[The Quality and Granularity Description Vocabulary] is foreseen as an extension to DCAT to cover the quality of the data, how frequently is it updated, whether it accepts user corrections, persistence commitments etc. When used by publishers, this vocabulary will foster trust in the data amongst developers.

Some important design questions:

the vocabulary could be an extension of DCAT, not repeating any of its elements, or be entirely new. The former is highly preferred. We will work out the model first and then try to map it to DCAT.

Relevant best practices

First work: Prior to the current FPWD, The WG has identified a number of best practices here. The following have been noted to be quality-focused: QUA01 Complete data, QUA02 Primary data, QUA03 Built-in data sharing systems, QUA04 Quality assurance, QUA05 Feedback mechanisms, QUA06 Provide support, QUA07 Link to external references. Some other also are, like MET02 Complete metadata, MOD5 Data models (vocabularies) conformance, TIM01 Timeliness updates. The following has been noted to be granularity-focused: GRA01 Maximum granularity.
